Thanks for the honest review !
Very good video. Many thanks
Glad to know you enjoyed it!
A nice, complete and honest video. Tnks ^_^
I just purchased the X.431 Pro V5 with the bluetooth adapter and variety of plug adapters. I had to do a full brake system replacement on a 3rd Gen Prius that I own (abs actuator/w master cylinder assy. & accumulator/pump assy.) You’re only able to get so far manually bleeding the brakes, the brakes won’t function fully and the regen system will not work until you’ve bled the full system through the activation of different solenoids on different brake system circuits, cycling the accumulator at specific times, and recalibrating certain features related to those circuits … long story short I HATE paying the stealership or anyone else to do any kind of work on my vehicles and this tool allowed me to access the special functions you have to have to complete this process. For me the tool has already paid for most of its initial cost in my situation. It did take some playing around, I did run into a couple issues where I ‘rebled’ a couple items and rebooted the ECU and cleared some data and got it to finally finish the process (linear valve offset calibration) and its good as new now. I had a big ole’ smile on my face knowing I have a tool that will help me trouble shoot and even perform some special functions to keep my cars running myself 😃👍 first time using one of these tools was a success!
Glad to hear that you succeeded in fixing your car and that you did not give up at the first challenge. Keep up doing complicated stuff :)
Tha k you for the review,,i would like to buy this but do they have one with Bluetooth vci,,,[ which one
I recommend the one with the wire as you don't need to charge it and it is better priced. for the other ones check on the website you buy stuff from and see what they have ...
Will this program a 2013 Subaru WrX STI ECM, from what I can tell almost all units like this one work only on German/Ford cars which doesn't help me. Subaru's are at best only briefly mentioned by almost all manufacturers. I need to clone my old ECM including VIN which is going bad. I already have good OBD2 readers and can program some ECM functions with my Cobb tuner but not features like VIN number.
I don't think that this model allows such a function. Usually for this type of application you take the ECU to a remap company, they read it on the bench and with that file will write on a new ecu. Autel has some ECU cloning functions, but never had to use them.
Have you ever reviewed the launch diagun V?
no yet
Hi, I just receive my Lounch pr05.0. I made Registration, all what is in the manual. First ,he can not retive vin number from the car. And if you put it manualy all scan devices is " NOT INSTALED". I Try it on Bmw 4,5,6 series . Any sugesstions . Thank's in advace.
I am not official Launch support, but if you want for a small/big fee, I can log in remote to your unit and see what is happening. alternatively get in touch with the unit seller and they should help you. if not return the unit and buy from another supplier. I personally never had problems with scanning any BMW.
Hi Thank you for you video.
Can you please recommend a scan tool that is able to prime the fuel pump of VAG 1.6 and 2.0 TDI after fuel filter replacement . Just a little diy. Thank you
Depends on the budget. For home use, I would try the Xtool A30M first, as it is the better priced tool.
@@BestCarMods thank you
@@BestCarMods
I preferred the Thinkdiag to the XTool, even though it only has two years of updates and annoying adverts.
I favour my Topdon Artidiag 800 over both, as it is much nicer to use, but doesn't have the bidirectional control of the Thinkdiag.
does it have topology? if not what is the cheapest launch with topology?
It does not have topology. At the same time Topology does not bring any benefit to performing diagnostics. Especially on these universal units, the MAP, topology map can be highly inaccurate and should not be relied upon in performing diagnostics. I don't know what launch unit has topology.
What is the difference between local diagnose vs intelligent?
one is done remote over the internet and all data is saved on the cloud ... the other is done on the tabet ;)
It's good when you comparing with xtool. On launch i just think that the user interface is not very fun, a little old design
I have x tool d8. It it be worth the switch. Would like to do fca cars in the usa made after 2018. Does the have the same features if not more than the x tool.
Do you think it's better than TOPDON Phoenix plus?
you will hate my answer ... but it depends ... the phoenix plus has some things that make it a bit better for some use scenarios ... but the launch has the newest software ... with both you can't go wrong. Lately I use more the X431 + xtool for mileage correction
what xtool did you have?
I use this th-cam.com/video/2OfGrUeosjg/w-d-xo.html
Can I calibrate a passenger seat sensor on a 2012 Toyota Rav4 with this?
I would expect you to be able to do it.
can you adjust idle speed with it?
depends on the software of the car. if the car allows for that I would think that this tool can do it.
Can you program keys with it?
Yes for BMW ( I have tested it), and many other (theoretically... did not test yet on other cars).
Great but how about benz by obd. So far the autel im508 is the best@@BestCarMods
Arte et Marte!!
can u use this to start cars without keys?
don't think so ... the autel km100 or IM508 IM608 are better for that
Does this mean that i couldn't use the scan tool after 2 years?
after 2 years you can do diagnostics, however not online coding. for full function you get new subscription
A ton of scanners support what you have shown but hardly any support ECU coding. So why did you not look into this functionality?
how would you cover that functionality ?
@@BestCarMods I'd show what options can be changed using the tool. A native tool like Xentry (for Mercedes-Benz) supports a wide variety of configuration choices and it would be extremely interesting to see which subset of those are covered by a third-party tool.
@@coolcat23 do continue ... what would the testing/reviewing procedure look like
Can you change the language on the product? I'm not native English speaker
yes.
Does this offer car topology ???
negative.
Arte et marte?
Hi is it same as Immo elite
never had Immo Elite
Just watched a video and they said the tool doesnt do programming or coding? A shame how these companies advertised it as that because because it can code a program one car🤨
I can confirm that it can do programming and coding. Now for "reviews", I see many people just open the box, connect to a car and don't take the time to test the tool before to get the big picture of it's capabilities. Each to their own.
I seen one guy try it on a 2009 Impala functions were very limited one of the most sold cars in the United States
this is something that I notice with the "universal tools" from time to time they have some brands/models that they don't cover. You need to find what works best on your vehicle. Also Try Xtool, Topdon , Autel. if this fails ... you need to get the OEM stuff... or a SNAP-On@@bigblockcutlass123
@@BestCarModsi have a snap on verus pro with 14.2 software and just purchased verus edge with 21.4 software. 21.4 is full of propaganda trying to keep you buying the subscription. Bought an xtool d8 last year trying to avoid updating the Snap-on, but xtool is cumbersome to use over the Snap-on. Also need fca cars, signed up for auto auth and found out you needed updated or subscription to do anything with fca vehicles.
I have this tool but i find it quite slow
on what cars are you using it?
@@BestCarMods all makes and models but a lot of vw. I tried to do basics settings on a throttle body on a 07 golf the other day and it couldn't do it
strange. for me, I found it to run slow on the 2006 Honda accord, but it runs well. New vehicles where ok for me.@@mikeprada1677 did you have it connected to the internet ? try to do it via the Intelligent Diagnose function
This was using intelligent diagnose. I actually found local diagnose to be a bit quicker. I also tried to do basic settings on an 07 golf throttle body/intake flap motor and it wouldn't do it
Please in need one am from Nigeria
try Aliexpress
I want to buy one of these but apparently these are Chinese knock offs according to the official launch website?
what is the "official launch website"?
Launch usa
launch is not a USA company. they have resellers in the USA, but they are a Chinese. Same as Launch UK sometimes saying to stay away from "uncontrolled imports" and trying to sell their versions.@@bigblockcutlass123
Launch was and is always a Chinese company. They have a USA ca based headquarters but it's from china
@@gopaulsalick507 You know all
All these guys are on the laugh payroll
I wish 😁
I am looking at this or the snap on Apollo 9. The snap on doesn’t seem to be able to diagnose the be crafter. The launch seems like a really good tool for the money compared to snap on.
this or the top phoenix plus ... will do the job. video coming soon with the topdon unit@@harley84fly
Whenever i read "includes paid promotion, i always puke a little
It is good that you don't puke completely ... 😏
